Mughal-e-Azam was made in 1960. Perhaps the fact that at its core, the film is a tale of rebellion is what allows it to interact with and influence people of all ages—even close to 65 years after the film’s original release. Or perhaps it is the fact that what epitomised this timeless love story was ‘sacrifice’—an act that asks more of the human condition than anything else. Or maybe it was Anarkali’s defiance—an unambiguous statement of resistance against authority and oppression.

Arjun Kapoor’s Parma Chauhan in Habib Faizal’s Ishaqzaade was not really a good guy. One could even make a reasonably plausible case that Parma 1.0 was Rannvijay Singh-lite from the 2010s.

July 10th, 2015 is a seminal date in Indian cinema. Much like 5th August, 1960 or 15th August, 1975 as 10/07/2015 is that Friday that separates the pre-and-post Baahubali eras. Koduri Srisaila Sri Rajamouli changed the face of Indian cinema profoundly, consequentially and irreversibly (Needless to say, the pandemic had a similar effect too) on that day with his film Baahubali: The Beginning.
